Nice. I just picked up my first last week, albeit sans case and with a repaired catch.

yeah they are a very nice badge, took top position in my parras.

i would like a aluminum badge have you seen on in real life?

No Martin, have not seen one in real life. Been told they are very rare and desirable. I tend not to collect by type, just getting one or two of each award is my goal, so unless I upgrade mine, I'm done with Para's (except I do need a Luft version).

Again, a great pickup!

[ironcross13]

Yeah ive seen them always really bright but alot are broken catches and pins as they are so weak

you should try to get a nice Tombac Jucker if you are only getting 1 will match your set very well, im looking for a jucker Parra myself
i seem to have a soft spot for Parras lol

[MAP]

Will do, but will be a while...have a few other items on the wish list that need to be filled first such as a nice Luft Pilot/Observer and a submarine clasp.
